now? you know, most people pay attention about the time it gets to labor day as we head into formaldehyde weekend, that's just not every race. this race we will have a debate june 27th. let's bring in our panel trey gowdy congressman from south carolina. axios political reporter stef kight and matthew continetti american enterprise institute. do you get a sense, trey, where this race is now as we head into the summer months? it seems like it's accelerating. obviously as i mentioned we will have a debate at the end of june. >> it's unbelievable. it used to be labor day. and now it's year around. i think it's going to be incredibly close, brit. i think it's going to come down to a handful of counties and maybe a couple of states. we, you know, you and i are going to live in a 50/50 country. bret. i hope one day we don't die in a 50/50 country. we are currently living in a 50/50 country. i don't see that changing.

>> bret: yeah it. does seem that wait a minute by the way, this election is very important when it comes to the house and senate, too. that's all on the table. this is a very consequential election come november. stef, the former president is right, that if he won new york, it would be the ballgame. a lot of people are saying he probably is not going to win new york, but is he expanding the map in other places. and clearly that rally last night in the south bronx is having -- >> exactly. the chances of the former president winning new york are very slim. it is still an incredibly blue state. but the fact that he did go to the bronx goes to show just how seriously he and his campaign are trying to court a new block of voters. they have made a very con certed effort to win over nonwhite voters, very multi racial crowd showed up there especially for a trump rally it.

really does show us that he is taking that seriously, that they're going to lean into that. they are trying to expand the kind of voters that are willing to come out and vote for the former president, even if new york as a state is not really on the table. we are seeing him win over more and more voters that in the past would be unlikely republican voters. >> bret: i'm going to turn topics, matthew although deals with the presidential race. gas prices being high usually effects a presidential race. former energy secretary rick perry on with maria bartiromo, take a listen. >> the reason gasoline prices are up is because this administration put policies into place that strangled supply. and when you don't have the supply, the cost goes up. that's just simple economics. they know that. but they are scared to death of the left and the environmentalists that are putting pressure on them to stop the fossil fuel industry. >> bret: so the administration is now going back to the

strategic petroleum reserve, matthew. and the biden administration announcing this week 1 million barrels of northeast reserve established after super storm sandy in a bid to lower price at the pump this summer. the sale from storage sites in new jersey and maine allocated so, again, they are tapping this in an effort to change the dynamic with gas prices. >> well, it's an absolutely reckless policy, bret. makes me wonder what would happen if we had an actual emergency, another arab oil embargo, where would we be with the way the biden administration has recklessly abused the strategic petroleum reserve. i think the gas price issue speaks to a whole bunch of grocery bag bread and butter issues that american voters are facing. the cost of living under biden has risen. five fold. 20%. and voters, no matter what their race or k ethnicity.

fox rally was a bold. >> bret: the former president has talked about his v.p. picks and that brings us to a place we go to every week and that is candidate casino. i wait for the roulette ball to start rolling. have you got $100 in chips. this is for v.p. pick for former president trump, trey, where are you putting your chips? >> $40 on tim scott. 20 on elise stefanik. tim on tomi cotton. tim on j.d. vance. 10 on doug burgum. 10 on mike pompeo. i have no idea what adds up to, brett. i'm used to keeping track. >> running a deficit. i could be out of money. but that's it. >> bret: that's all right. you placed some bets. stef, 100 buck. >> i'm going to put 40 on j.d. vance, 30 on tim scott. 20 on marco rubio, and i'm going to throw 10 for tulsi gabbard as

kind of the less likely but maybe we'll see a surprise pick. >> bret: all right. matthew, wrap it up. >> despite some issues with residency, i still think marco rubio is in the mix. i'm going to put $40 on him. there is a new entry in my casino and this is doug burgum the governor of north dakota. burgum mania is real, bret. i'm putting $60 on the governor. >> bret: wow, big bet on burgum. wow, we will track this and play it back later. thanks. >> bret: breaking tonight. a new mexico judge has just rejected a request by alec baldwin to dismiss the sole criminal charges against him in that fatal shooting in the movie set in 2021. the judge upheld indictment charging baldwin with one count of involuntary manslaughter in the death of the cinematographer. the judge rejecting defense arguments that prosecutors flouted the rules of the grand jury proceedings to divert attention away from
